quite large city park i've ever visit in Jawa Tengah. It has big fish pound, but the water isn't clear. Some people can fishing on there by paying some amounts of cash. Across the pond, there is a cage for a few of Peacock. There are a herd of deer. The place also quite beautiful. It is really refreshing to visit Taman Balekambang.
